In a democracy, the rights of the. individual muet -always ho weighed against thoeof the. general population. From this perspective, the answer te, the first question would depend on the- circumstances. Obviously, a truste. ie responsible te and accountable te his constituency. Public input should always ho accessible through the. committe., process but unotntely, from experionce I can say that despite efforts te advertise public meetings and information forums, very few people avail themeelves of the opportunity. Thle onus of remaining informed muet rest with-the individuai since it would ho impossible for a trustee te continuously communicate with the electerate. If my- position on a spécifie issue la based on~esoa preference -or peso bis, without ti.' honefit of historical, fact data or information, I would. ho 'uided h y the wishes of the. gujoity on the. otiier hand, I take a position based on researcii and fact-fling,,, and that decision i. for the overail good of the. system, I wilbe negligent iflI chang my position because it would»ho politically viable for me te do. 14. WIat psy Incr WOUM svudyou propos. truteo Wer b.netUmm fIrer oS It i. my understanding that the. overaIl budget for ail 19 trustees including the chairman'a honorarium i. less than $200,000. This sumn reprecents less than .002 per cent of a budget of $130 million. I draw the public'. attention te this fact because wiiatever decisions the majority of the. trustees make, subject te staff and public input wiil nover have an impact on either the overail budget or the. level- of education administered. It would ho wise, howev.r, for the. board te keep a fair rolationaiiip b.tween the. demanda and siils required for the efficient management of sucii a1iefty budget by comparin simiar .requirements n remuneration in the public sector.
